How about a forum thread devoted to science? I post science stuff in
debates, puzzles, or spiritual and I get razzed. If I push it in general I get dumb comments. I tried to put science stuff into puzzles because
I was thinking the more intelligent and curious ones would maybe read the articles I posted but mostly they get pizzed that I am in the wrong place.

Speak for yourself. I peruse Posers and Puzzles looking for posers and puzzles. Sonhouse posts news articles seemingly at random with two lines of text and nothing else. How does that even relate tangentially with the topic of the subforum?
It belongs in General unless it is a hot button issue in which case it should go in either Debates or Spirituality (depending on whether it's to do with God or other such nonsense).
I'm going to have to agree with sonhouse on this one. I actually find some of the science stuff he posts interesting. But there really isn't an appropriate forum for it.
Posers and Puzzles isn't the right forum. At least in my estimation, Posers and Puzzles is about providing questions/puzzles for folks to ponder and try to come up with an answer. I think most of sonhouse's stuff is more along the vein of FYI than actually posing a question and seeking answers. On the other hand, sonhouse's posts are clearly closer to the spirit of the Puzzles forum than some of the other crap we've got littering the place.
Let me add my own suggestion--it would certainly be nice if the forum mods could relocate to the general forum (or at least close) some of the more egregious violations of the Posers and Puzzles theme (not sonhouse's). It's crazy to allow some of the stuff that is stacking up in there to continue--we might as well just rename it General Forum II.

I agree. And there's plenty of room in Spirituality for more science, as the forum is populated mostly by folks who need Science 101. If you're not ready to teach the science, patiently, to pupils who will challenge piece of information with senseless dogma, however, General may be your best bet.

I want one for coon hunting. I post all the time and get the same. It makes me sad and somewhat lonely.😞
